WWE considering moving some main roster talent to NXT

I thought it was already debunked that the story of there being another superstar shakeup wasn't legit, but in any case ill play along. For some guys it certainly needs to happen as they either got called up way too soon or have run into a severe roadblock in their career.

Apollo Crews

Guy just never got going, even in NXT I don't feel like he quite hit his stride, he could have absolutely used more time in NXT to develop more of a character. This could be his chance to make a name in a main event scene in NXT thats not as overpowering as it was during the Balor/Zayn/Neville/Owens days.

Dana Brooke

Again, just someone who still is pretty green, but athletic and has potential, but pushed way too soon. Could use a second chance in NXT. Because she won't be doing anything of importance on Raw anytime soon.

Lana

Needs time to work on her wrestling skills, can't blame her since they just threw her in the deep end, but she needs to work on being a wrestler. And again, she's not going anywhere on Smackdown anytime soon with Charlotte, Becky, Naomi getting pushes and Carmella being their new project.

Big Cass

Don't know where to start, guy just doesn't have it. Can't cut a promo, matches are weak, theme is horrific, guy needs to go to back to NXT and find his character.

Cedric Alexander

This is more of an opportunity for Cedric rather than a punishment imo. Even though he was a fan favorite in the CWC, he has been painfully misused since the debut of the cruiserweight division. If they aren't going to do anything with him, I'd rather him go back up to the mid-card IC/US title status and redevelop in NXT as a non-cruiserweight.

At least they'll be used right. Wwe should have had some kind of invasion angle with NXT. It would of been a good way to get the roster over and have the main roster go down to NXT and appear and kind of boost the ratings/get some new subscribes on the network. I think wwe would have ed it up though

I would love to see this happen.

I'd move Curt Hawkins, Darren Young, Lana, Dana Brooke, Emma, The Ascension, Rich Swann to NXT

... And give people more reason to tune out of Raw and SD? Real smart

We just had this thread, but I'll leave this open for now. Maybe I'll merge it later, maybe I won't. It's a mystery.... stay tuned.



It's rather obvious Enzo is going back to NXT. No denying Vince isn't interested in him. I personally would have Enzo & Mojo team up in NXT. They're both hyper and both can play off each other. If Enzo can make Cass interesting, he'll have no issues helping Mojo.

As I said, Mojo would go back down too. ^ Team him with Enzo.

Chad Gable is a maybe for me. In NXT he can reinvent himself. He's a sure fire main eventer if he gets a chance to shine. I fear in WWE he would be jobber to the stars in Vince's eyes. I just know he'll be great if given the proper time to develop.

Bo Dallas might be the best option. He's very talented. But he isn't going anywhere right now. In NXT, he can go back to the drawling-board and try again.

Darren Young is another. Let's be honest, he's not very entertaining. For as long as he's with WWE he should be great. But it's just not there. So maybe in NXT he can also be reinvented. Maybe find him a tag team partner and see if that helps bring out the best in him like Titus did.

Sin Cara. Get him something/anything to do.

Dana Brooke. She's greener than Kermit. Still not sure why she was ever called up.

Ascension is drowning in WWE. They need to get out now before it's too late.

I would have no issues with Mickie James going back to NXT. Her match with Asuka was very good. While on the main roster she fights for TV time. By putting her down in NXT, she can work with all the new women they signed from the Mae Young Classic. And eventually secure herself a coaching job in the PC.

Rhyno is the same as Mickie. He was entertaining to watch in NXT. In WWE he eats crackers. It's funny but he never gets TV time.

The Brian Kendrick is another. He's not really needed in the CW division anymore. He's extremely talented. And as we saw with Eva Maria, he's a hell of a coach. If he can make her look passable, he could make anyone look good.

Dolph Ziggler and Rusev are two guys who could benefit moving to MXT.

Cass had his gimmick....riding the mic skills of Enzo and living that silly gimmick. That jersey shore/longisland/state island meat head thing was massively over. Neither Enzo, nor Cass are ready for a singles run. There was no reason to break them up.

What if they did this, in a competition type way.
Like on RAW they had a series of matches, where guys from NxT challenged guys on RAW and if they won, they took their "spot".
so if say, Allistair Black challenges Dolph Ziggler... and Black won, he'd be on RAW, and they'd do a segment of Ziggler all pissed off walking out of the arena saying everyone in NxT better watch their backs.
